.Note to all statistical usersIt has been discovered that the data entry program used for the drivers and victims had a default error concerningage. All persons with an unknown date of birth had been assigned, February 14, 1912, (AZ Statehood Day), as adefault date of birth. Their ages show in the statistics as being in their 80’s. This error has effected our databasesince mid 1992. Please be aware of this when attempting age comparisons in the 1992 through 1996 crash facts.The most obvious category is the Hit and Run driver. Approximately 10,000 to 12,000 individuals wereappearing in the 75 and older group when in reality they should have been distributed throughout all agebrackets.Tables 1-5 (page 8) and 5-8 (page 38) are most adversely effected. Those tables have been adjusted to show thefatalities and fatal crash involvement according to the Fatality Analysis Reporting System. Injury and propertydamage only crashes will be shown as unknown or not reported in this addition.Tables 6-7 (page 43), 6-10 (page 45), 7-1 (page 50), 7-9 (page 53) and 8-5 (page 58) will show some effect buthave not been adjusted.Page i

These costs are an estimate of wage and productivity losses, medical expenses,administrative expenses, motor vehicle damage, and employer costs. Effective in 1993, new components wereadded and new benchmarks and inflation factors adopted. For this reason, the cost estimates for 1997 are notcomparable to those published in the past.
